NURTURING NATURE
Aranyani is the Goddess of the forest and
the mother and The Protector of the animals in the forest, whose name comes
from the word ‘Aranya’ meaning forest in Sanskrit. The forests have always been
at the centre of the Indian civilization. As we all know, that the
evolution of the civilizations started from the forest and, our Vedas tell us
that this culture of forest or the Aranya Sanskriti was a result of
conscious choice and not imposed due to the primitiveness. Due to this choice, the
humankind was connected to the Mother Nature and our Vedas mention about the
learnings from the study of forest. But, as the evolution progressed, and
urbanization started, we started moving away from the forest and the nature so
much that we began destroying forest to bring up large concrete structures.
Thus, began the era of self-destruction of the mankind. प्रकृति; रक्षति रक्षिता- If you protect the nature, the nature would protect you; but we
were determined to destroy our own protector! Therefore, the green clean promise
got broken. As a result, we are all locked up inside our houses. It is high
time for us to stop mishandling with our environment and possibly take a U-
turn back towards our forest. I clearly understand rebuilding isn't easy but so
was destruction. As they say, realisation of a mistake is a critical point and
the last opportunity for correction of the same. We must make a fresh promise
to the aranyani to start rebuilding the green and clean forest. Thus, returning
her Kingdom back to her. Ladies and gentlemen, I solicit your promise,
cooperation and participation in spreading awareness about reforestation. For years
we have been talking about the ill effects of deforestation which did not
really help. It is our moral duty to start spreading awareness about
reforestation using any mode. I request your virtual participation through your
respective social media accounts as well.
Namo Aranyani
